The re-release of these comics, which have been out of print, allows new and old fans to explore the narrative continuity with the video games developed by Core Design. The discount and availability of preorders for upcoming volumes also make it financially accessible for collectors and enthusiasts, potentially boosting interest and sales in the Tomb Raider franchise.
